Passion. Purpose. Perpetuity:
Celebrating 30 years of the Pauahi Foundation
This year marks a significant milestone — the 30th anniversary of the Pauahi Foundation. For three decades, the Foundation has proudly carried forward the vision of our Founder, Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Pākī Bishop, by supporting Native Hawaiian students in their pursuit of post-secondary education.
This legacy began in 1883, when Ke Ali‘i Pauahi established her trust with a bold vision: that education would be the key to a thriving Native Hawaiian people. Today, we honor her foresight by continuing to invest in the next generation of leaders.
As part of our 30th anniversary celebration and in honor of your incredible support, we’re excited to offer several special recognition opportunities and events for donors who join us with a gift.
Limited Edition Tote Bag: The first 100 donors who make a gift of $350 or more will receive an exclusive Pauahi Foundation 30th Anniversary tote bag.
Mānowai Donor Wall and Reception: All gifts of $500 or more directed to the Mānowai Scholarship by Nov. 11, 2025, will be recognized on the Mānowai Donor Wall and receive an invitation to the Mānowai Donor Reception next month.
VIP Tickets and Reception to Kamehameha Schools Kapālama’s Christmas Concert: Gifts of $500 or more to KSK’s Performing Arts Program will receive two VIP tickets to the KSK Christmas Concert and VIP Reception in December 2025 — a magical evening showcasing talented haumāna.
Donor Wall at Pearl at Kalauao and Nā Hanohano Donor Reception: All gifts of $1,000 or more will be included on the donor wall at Pearl at Kalauao and receive an invitation to the Nā Hanohano Donor Reception in February 2026.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our donors, thousands of haumāna have realized their dreams, stepped into leadership roles, and returned to uplift their communities, strengthening the lāhui for generations to come.
This 30th anniversary is more than a celebration of time. It’s a celebration of legacy; lives transformed; communities strengthened; and of a future still being shaped through the vision of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi and the generosity of people like you.
Join us today: celebrate, give and inspire the next 30 years!
